La Mousmé also known as La Mousmé Sitting in a Cane Chair Half-Figure (with a branch of oleander) was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1888 while living in Arles which Van Gogh dubbed the Japan of the south. Retreating from the city he hoped that his time in Arles would evoke in his work the simple yet dramatic expression of Japanese art.
